Bladder Lymphangioma Treated by Holmium Laser: Extremely Rare Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Lymphangioma is a sporadic benign tumor of the bladder. It is a congenital disorder and based on the size of lymphatic spaces, it is divided into 3 types of capillary, cavernous, and cystic. Case Report: In this paper, we presented a 40-year-old woman with microscopic hematuria and a normal urinary ultrasound. Urethrocystoscopy showed a flat 4 mm highlighted strawberry-like lesion on the right lateral wall of the bladder. After a cold cup biopsy, the lesion was coagulated by the holmium: YAG (Ho: YAG) laser. Conclusion: In Bladder Lymphangioma Based on the size of the lesion, partial cystectomy or minimally invasive surgeries such as laser modality would be the principal treatment.

Renal Pseudoaneurysms after Flexible Ureteroscopy and Holmium Laser Lithotripsy: A Case Report.

Project description:BackgroundFlexible ureteroscopy (FURS) and holmium laser lithotripsy is considered one of the most minimally invasive and safe surgical methods for the treatment of renal calculi. Renal pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication after FURS holmium laser lithotripsy. We report a case of renal pseudoaneurysm after FURS and holmium laser lithotripsy and review the relevant literature to analyze the possible etiology and summarize the treatment.Case presentationA 29-year-old male with a 2-year history of diabetes was admitted to the hospital because of right back pain for 5 days. A doppler ultrasound demonstrated bilateral renal calculi with bilateral mild hydronephrosis. The patient underwent one-stage right FURS and holmium laser lithotripsy and bilateral ureteral stent implantation. The urine was clear on the second day after the operation, and he was discharged from the hospital. Due to severe gross hematuria, he had to be hospitalized 28 days after the operation. A CT scan showed multiple blood clots in the right renal pelvis and bladder. An emergency blood transfusion and removal of the bladder blood clots and bilateral double J tubes were performed. His urine was clear for one week, and he was discharged from the hospital. He was hospitalized again 47 days after the operation because of fever and hematuria. A CT scan demonstrated blood clots in the bladder and right renal pelvis. Angiography showed a pseudoaneurysm in a small branch of the right renal artery, and hematuria stopped after selective renal artery embolization with microcoils.ConclusionFURS and holmium laser lithotripsy is safe, but we should be aware of the possibility of renal artery pseudoaneurysms (RAP). Through careful operation during the surgery, avoiding kidney injury, reducing intrarenal pressure and controlling the time of operation may prevent the occurrence of this complication. Vascular embolization is the first choice for the treatment of pseudoaneurysms.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

An extremely rare case of adult with first branchial cleft fistula: Case report.

Project description:IntroductionAnomalies of the first branchial cleft are rare and represent 10% of lateral cervical malformations. Very few cases have been described in literature. In our research, we didn't find cases of adults with first branchial cleft fistulas. First branchial cleft fistulas in adults are difficult to diagnosticate, and the surgery of the parotid gland to extract the fistula requires to be precautious.Case presentationThe aim of this work is to present an extremely rare case of a 65 years-old patient with first branchial cleft fistula. Fistula excision surgery completed with superficial parotidectomy were performed. No sign of recurrency were found after 6 months surveillance.DiscussionFirst branchial cleft fistula is hard to diagnosticate, especially with adults. Very few cases of adult male are described in the literature. It is often misdiagnosed with parotid tumours or as otitis with ear drainage.The treatment of First branchial cleft fistula is surgical. A complete resection of the tract is necessary to prevent recurrency. It usually requires a superficial parotidectomy and the fistula tract passes under the parotid gland.ConclusionFirst branchial cleft fistulas are rare, and forms with adults are extremely rare to encounter. Imagery can't always help to diagnosis. Surgery is indicated in the management of this pathology, with preservation of the facial nerve.

Sellar Gangliocytoma: Case Report and Review of an Extremely Rare Tumour.

Project description:Sellar gangliocytomas (SGs) are rare, well-differentiated, low-grade neoplasias that commonly present along with a pituitary adenoma (PA). We describe a case of a 52-year-old woman with a 2-year history of headache, body weight increase, and recent onset of arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Work-up tests revealed a normal hypophyseal profile, except for mild ACTH elevation, and a sellar mass on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnosis of an enlarging pituitary macroadenoma was established, and to prevent symptom progression, the tumour was resected. Pathology showed 2 cell populations: ganglion and corticotrope cells. Three years after surgery, the patient no longer had a headache but persisted with arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. A literature review produced 207 cases of SGs. They typically present in women at 40 years of age and the most common clinical presentation are symptoms of acromegaly. Of the documented cases, 74 and 93% were treated with surgery alone or combined treatments (radiotherapy, radiosurgery, or pharmacotherapy), respectively. The majority of deaths associated with a SG came from the first half of the 20th century. In conclusion, this patient presented with a silent SG with likely pituitary hyperplasia. SGs are a challenging diagnosis, have a benign course, and may provide insights into PA tumourigenesis.

Giant cystic lymphangioma of the stomach: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionCystic lymphangioma is a benign tumor originating from the lymph vessels. It commonly occurs in childhood, in the head or neck regions. However, abdominal Cystic lymphangioma is extremely rare in adult patients and often asymptomatic. Considering abdominal space, it may attain huge sizes whilst causing minimal symptoms. Due to this insidious presentation, these tumors become massive and can be diagnosed late at the complication stage.Presentation of caseThis case report describes a rare and exceptional case of giant cystic lymphangioma of the stomach presented with a perforation in the abdominal cavity. The diagnosis was suspected following an abdominal CT scan, but could not confirm that the lesion was derived from the stomach. Therefore, an exploratory laparotomy found a multi-cystic mass occupying most of the abdominal space, adherent to the small gastric curvature and without delimitation line. This mass presents a small perforation responsible for an ascites of medium abundance. Then, the patient underwent a subtotal gastrectomy removing the entire cystic mass. Pathological analysis of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma of the stomach.The postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged after 6 days. At the 3-month follow-up, the patient was in good health.DiscussionThe cystic lymphangioma of the stomach is rare and exceptionally described in the literature. However, if this tumor is benign, it has the potential to grow, invade vital structures, and develop life-threatening complications.ConclusionWe stress the importance of complete surgical excision to prevent cyst complications and to reduce the recurrence risk.

Renal pseudoaneurysm after holmium laser lithotripsy with flexible ureteroscopy: an unusual case report and literature review.

Project description:Pseudoaneurysms of the renal arteries are caused by focal rupture or perforation of the arterial wall, resulting in local bleeding. Such pseudoaneurysms can be observed in conditions such as nodular polyarteritis, penetrating or closed renal injury, and medically induced injuries (such as renal puncture biopsy, percutaneous nephrostomy, or partial nephrectomy). Flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) is performed entirely through the urethra to prevent potentially severe kidney damage. Because of this, almost no renal parenchymal hemorrhage occurs after FURS laser lithotripsy. Only four cases had been documented in the literature as of December 2022. In this report, we describe a 53-year-old man with a history of recurrent kidney stones who underwent FURS laser lithotripsy for bilateral kidney stones. The procedure was smoothly performed, and no active bleeding occurred. However, the patient developed recurrent macroscopic hematuria after discharge from the hospital, and renal angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm in the distal right kidney. The pseudoaneurysm was treated with selective arterial embolization. Serious complications of FURS surgery are rare, particularly the formation of pseudoaneurysms. We report the present case to bring this potential complication to the attention of urologists.

Diagnosis of an extremely rare case of malignant adenomyoepithelioma in pleomorphic adenoma: A case report.

Project description:BackgroundPleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common type of salivary gland tumor, and its common sites are parotid gland, sinus, nasal septum and cleft palate. PA is an uncommon benign type of tumor occurring in the breast, and there are few reports of cases in Asia.Case summaryAn 84-year-old woman found a mass in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast > 1 year ago. The patient underwent a right breast lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy. The pathological diagnosis was PA in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast, and the malignant component was malignant adenomyoepithelioma. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no chemotherapy was administered. At 18 mo of follow-up, the patient is alive and well, with no evidence of recurrent disease.ConclusionPatients with breast PA should first undergo extended excision of breast masses followed by pathological examination. If malignancy is confirmed or the surgical margin is positive, modified radical mastectomy should be performed.

Unusual location and complication of a cystic lymphangioma: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionThis paper reports an uncommon location and complication of a cystic lymphangioma. Few cases of infected colonic cystic lymphangioma were described in literature. Symptoms are non-specific and setting the diagnosis on radiological features remain challenging. Urgent open surgery is generally required for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.Presentation of caseWe describe a case of a young man who presented with an acute abdomen mimicking bile peritonitis, infected tumor of the colon or even a complicated hydatid disease of the liver, which is endemic in our country. CT-scan was compulsory to suspect the diagnosis of infected cystic lymphangioma but remained insufficient to rule out other more frequent diagnoses. The patient underwent an emergency open surgery consisting in a bowel resection, in whose case an infected cystic lymphangioma was barely suspected preoperatively but confirmed by the pathological examination of the specimen. No postoperative complications were noticed.DiscussionSetting the diagnosis of an infected cystic lymphangioma of the colon is tough. Many differential diagnoses are more frequently suspected and radiological examinations can be helpful. However, an emergency surgery is mandatory in order to avoid septic shock and resect the lesion, sometimes at the cost of bowel resection. Laparoscopic or endoscopic treatments are feasible but are not the standard in emergency cases.ConclusionAcute presentation of cystic lymphangioma of the colon is very scarce and can be life-threatening leading to urgent open surgery, although endoscopic or laparoscopic treatment remain feasible. Further studies are needed to select which technique is suitable for this disorder.
